As far as urbit is concerned, I'm definitely a normie, but I still don't get it. Where is all this stuff? Running all of megacorp's stuff takes a bazillion servers. If we're not going to use those anymore, where is my data going to live? How can I access everything from anywhere if there is no centralization? Will my "urbit computer" be running on other people's physical computers? Can I decide to run an infinite number of infinite loops? Will it be running on my physical computer? What if my hard drive dies? Do I lose all my stuff?
How does it actually work?
